As part of a charity project for the kids at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, we had a specific challenge to get some boy gifts made up. Since my son has a ton of little cars, this was the perfect gift. I went through the big bin and picked out cars that looked new. It […]
Here is another designs I made. This one is probably going to be worn the most! Striped Flowers in Lavender – This is a mixture of Iris, Roses and Dahlias in the same shades. This was printed on Satin, and scaled to print at 4″ x 4″. The satin is a bit thin, so I like […]
I just had to make another infinity scarf, since I love the first one so much. This time I used a less dense yarn, so it took the entire two skeins (94 yards each) for this scarf. It ended up at around 22″ wide. In making these two different ones, it seems that the thickness […]
We have another tester pattern for Simple Life Pattern Company. It was released today, and you can find it here. This is the Saige Dress, and I rather like how it was put together. It is a knit, with a lined bodice, so you can use some thinner knits on it. If you do use […]
I decided I needed to make my kids some clothes to wear for our family pictures. I was waiting for peak Fall colors and wanted to go with colors that had browns, olive greens, tans, etc. Of course, I decided this when I didn’t have a lot of time to get it done. I […]
I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric. On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China.

This purse was intended to be taken on a trip last week to Cincinnatti to see our friends that moved there last summer. I was rushing and things were not going well. Finally, I had to just leave it and use an old purse. Not like I didn’t have anything to use, you know. 😉 […]
These suckers were harder than I thought they would be. I decided to make my kids new lunchboxes as their old ones had seen better days. They get used usually 4 days a week during school, so they need to be able to take a lickin’ and keep on truckin’. They also need to be […]
My son loves his robe. He lives in the thing. He will throw on some of the flannel pants that I have made him and the robe, and if we have no where to go on the weekends he will wear it all day long. That thing could go take a walk, since he barely […]
In the “easiest patterns ever” category, this should go pretty much to the top of the list. It is a just 4 pieces, but yet, I managed to make the first one too big and too long. I measured my upper bust, hip and then determined how long I wanted it. I added too much […]
